Peony

Flowering period: April-May

Peony flowers are brightly colored and magnificent, and have always been known as the "king of flowers". Peony comes in many colors, among which yellow, green, flesh-red, dark red and silver-red are the best, while the most noble colors are yellow and green.

Maintenance methods

1. The potting soil for peony flowers requires well-drained, fertile sandy soil. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil and fine river sand in a ratio of 2:1:1, spray it with carbendazim and then prepare it into cultivation soil.

2. Peonies like dry environments and do not like humid environments. When watering, you should follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do." Just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist in spring.

3. Peony is a fertilizer-loving plant, so be sure to fertilize it in time. Probably 2-3 times a year is enough. The time for fertilization is mainly concentrated in the bud stage, flowering stage in spring and autumn. Traditional organic fertilizer can be used as fertilizer.

4. If the top bud of the main branch of the peony is not a flower bud but a leaf bud, it needs to be picked off in time to prevent it from growing too tall and affecting flowering. The branches of peony are relatively fragile. In the early stages of flowering, the branches often bend because the flowers are too heavy. You can use thin bamboo strips to tie and support them.
